Starting with the FREE edition of FL Studio. The Trial Version of FL Studio (Free Version of FL Studio.) there’s actually only TWO VERSIONS of FL Studio!įun Fact: The trial version is actually the Producer edition of FL Studio WITH the All Plugins Bundle edition! This means the Producer Edition is the full version of FL Studio, then any higher edition you go from their comparison table just includes extra plugins. An ambient light sensor to adjust brightness is only available on the Signature edition.What are the Differences Between FL Studio Versions:īut. The system gets the color temperature adjust introduced in the 2019 Oasis - a feature that reduces blue lighting on a schedule, which can be detrimental to your sleep patterns. The Oasis still wins out on front lighting, with 25 to the Paperwhite’s 17 (owing, at least in part, to a smaller screen), though the lighting is uniform and does a fine job when reading in the dark. Both models have IPX8 waterproofing, as well - always nice for those who like to read near the pool, tub or any body of water. The new model increases size slightly from 6.6 to 6.8 inches - just a hair below the Oasis’ seven. Both have a 300 ppi resolution (same as last gen), significantly more than the standard Kindle’s 167. Interestingly, there’s not a lot of difference in the screens. Overall, it still doesn’t feel as premium as the $250 Oasis, however, dropping that model’s metal backing and physical page buttons - the latter of which is a nice luxury I do actually miss here. The new Paperwhite looks a fair bit like its predecessors at first glance, though like the Oasis before it, the bezels and display are now flush, adding to an already solid build. It’s also not hurt by the fact that the company, on the whole, produces nice e-reader hardware. That’s helped along by its overwhelming presence in the publishing industry and having one of the world’s best online billboards in its home page. Like so many things it has touched, the retail giant dominates the category. For big players, that pretty much leaves Kobo, which is still kicking, and, of course, Amazon.Īnd let’s be real - in terms of major scale and presence here in the U.S., well, that pretty much leaves Amazon. Formerly big players like Sony long ago abandoned ship, and while Barnes & Noble is ostensibly still in the Nook business, whatever glory days it might have had are long behind it. This is due, in no small part, to the fact that the competition has dwindled. I realize this isn’t an exciting sentiment - certainly not in 2021 - but let’s face it, the pace of e-reader innovation is downright glacial compared to the rest of the industry. Honestly, not a sentence I ever expected to write. I just pulled my iPhone off my Qi charger and tossed on the new Kindle.
